I3 Ford EcoBoost at the SAE 2012 World Congress. The EcoBoost engine represents one of the recent trends in the automotive industry, a move towards downsized and highly boosted engines that deliver higher power and better fuel economy than the larger engines they replace. FEV, Inc., is showing the 1.0L Earlier post.)

The VEMB system uses a concentric camshaft, blow-down manifold and scavenge manifold to separate the exhaust event into two phases: high-energy blow-down to the turbo without pumping losses, and high-hydrocarbon scavenge to the EGR system. Source: Borgwarner. Click to enlarge.

One significant trend is engine downsizing coupled with turbocharging. Smaller, turbocharged engines can be used to raise fuel economy while meeting or exceeding the power and torque of larger engines, allowing engine downsizing and improved fuel economy with little or no performance compromise.

In implementing this 50% downsizing by swept volume, the research team delivered zero degradation in driveability, performance or acceleration. Earlier post.). The HyBoost concept is based on a 2009 Ford Focus in which a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine has been replaced with a 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine.

will exhibit its High Efficiency Combustion System (HECS) diesel engine at the 2011 SAE World Congress, 12-14 April at Cobo Center in Detroit. The second-generation HECS has been adapted to a downsized 1.6L A dual-wall exhaust also reduces heat loss in order to accelerate catalyst light-off during cold starts.

’s decision to cut stop producing the Colt subcompact there highlight the a downsizing trend in Europe for Japanese carmakers as the new-vehicle market there shrinks. The European Union will tighten carbon dioxide emission rules from 2012, with a goal of curbing exhaust on new vehicles to an average 130 grams per kilometer by 2015.
